Bran Muffins are a special treat of mine that everyone seems to love, and they are easy enough for you to make them in your own home. But these muffins are far from your ordinary bran muffins. This recipe was designed for children who suffer from constipation. While nobody likes to openly admit that they or their child suffers from this problem, it has been proven time and time again throughout various medical studies that this problem is not as uncommon as many people would think. According to Dr. Dinesh S. Pashankar, approximately 30% of children suffer from this problem. A large portion of the problem is a result of a poor diet. This is why we decided that it was important to not only post a delicious recipe today, but one that is high in fiber and beneficial in many ways!

Today, we are whipping up a batch of “Grandpa’s Bran Muffins”. A recipe that has been handed down through my family for 3 generations. These muffins are low in fat, low in calories, and extremely high in fiber; making them the perfect sweet, yet healthy snack for everyone in the family!

*If you are sensitive to foods that contain high amounts of fiber beware. However people with constipation issues,this is the recipe for you!

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing as you add. Spoon the mixture into a paper-lined muffin pan; filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
